I would suggest exercising caution in using that article as a guide post. The car the author is inspecting is literally the model Tesla chose to put on the showroom floor in front of customers and the general public. I'm sure they ensu

Ah yes, hours after the comment and much later than the moment the courts open. This reads like a petulant press release and nor an actual legal document. It feels like they even stipulate that Media Matters was right and they did display a
